(By Professor S. W. Young.)
The Fortnightly Musical Club cannot b* too deeply thanked for presenting Miss Adela Verne to b Palo

Throughout tbe whole evening klltt Verne held 3xtr audience
la close sympathy snd It la aafe to
any that tbe'only disappointment
felt by anyone wet due to the ftct
thtt the program had to have an
end.
It would be useless to attempt any
analysis of Ihe program: to try to
. why the Bach number was' *o
played that thoee who thought th*
great old maater dry. csme away
lib a changed opinion, to try to
explain why Miss Verne's pitying of
the daloty composition* of the seventeenth century writers cast such
s ipoll or pore musical beauty over
na til: to try to determine Jutt wby
tb* great surge of tbe Chopin Sonata got Into our hearts, and Jutt
why tbe'much-abuied and hackneyed
funeral march took on a nee- and
a deeper meaning for us; to try to
do sit this would be rfscles*. Mite
Verne It not kind to the critic, for
of what use pray la th* critic, unless
It be to make comparisons and perhaps to And a little fault. Miss
Vtrne It not kind, because ah* lesvss
yoa with no comparisons to msks,
and certainly with no fault to'And.
She plays in tb* most ttrslghtfor-
ward manner possible, tnd the con.
vlnret you absolutely.
When ws leave a talented young
player, with a perfect technique,
and with youthful enthusiasm, wt
usually exclaim. "What an- artist
this will be when tbe Intelligence
snd tbe breadth of conception bare
developed a little morel" But alas,
with Mist Verne even tblt latt

Mlaa Augusta TJpbam: "Miss
